Catholics: leading the third-world invasion of America and the leading source of Christian fatalism.

There are a lot of “trad” Catholics on social media who are talking a big game about Catholicism, except the Pope seems to reject you and your beliefs.

Same war, same time, same front.

Remarque spent six weeks at the front, got injured and never returned.

Jünger spent four years, got wounded 14 times, and never quit.

Never listen to communists (like Remarque). They infect you with their weakness.

Confederate Gen. Richard Taylor, son of President Zachary Taylor, had to surrender to a German 48er immigrant officer at the end of the war. Describing his response to the lecture about "American values" he received from the German in broken English, he wrote:

"I apologized meekly for my ignorance, on the ground that my ancestors had come from England to Virginia in 1608, and, in the short intervening period of two hundred and fifty-odd years, had found no time to transmit to me correct ideas of the duties of American citizenship. Moreover, my grandfather, commanding the 9th Virginia regiment in our Revolutionary army, had assisted in the defeat and capture of the Hessian mercenaries at Trenton, and I lamented that he had not, by association with these worthies, enlightened his understanding. My friend smiled blandly and assured me of his willingness to instruct me. Happily for the world, since the days of Huss and Luther, neither tyranny nor taste can repress the Teutonic intellect in search of truth or exposure of error. A kindly, worthy people, the Germans, but wearing on occasions."

It is often forgotten, I think, by Americans and Britons alike that George Washington was considered an exemplary Englishman by the Victorians.
